2 Samuel 15:1-3

Revised Geneva Translation

15 After this, Absalom prepared chariots for himself, and horses, and fifty men to run before him.

² And Absalom rose up early and stood by the entrance of the gate. And every man who had any dispute, and had come to the king for judgment, Absalom called to himself, and said, “What city are you from?” And he answered, “Your servant is from…” (one of the tribes of Israel).

³ Then Absalom said to him, “See, your matters are good and righteous; but there is no deputy of the king to hear you.”
